Ezekiel 6:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 6:5

3 and say, ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys: “Indeed I, even I, will bring a sword against you, and ^aI will destroy your high places.

4 Then your altars shall be desolate, your incense altars shall be broken, and ^aI will cast down your slain men before your idols.

5 And I will lay the corpses of the children of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones all around your altars.

6 In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the¹ high places shall be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, your idols may be broken and made to cease, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

7 The slain shall fall in your midst, and ^ayou shall know that I am the Lord.

8 ^a“Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are ^bscattered through the countries.

9 Then those of you who escape will ^aremember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because ^bI was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and ^cby their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; ^dthey will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations.
